Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.
Estimated Daily Players
~100 thousand
We estimate that Rust has currently around 100k players daily.
Rust is a well-known multiplayer survival game, released in 2018 by Facepunch Studios. It maintains high popularity on platforms like Steam due to frequent updates, Twitch presence, and a strong PvP-focused community. It typically sees tens of thousands of concurrent players, so 100,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate for 2024.
